Food and Nutrition

Exodus 12
8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. 9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof. 10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.

1 Corinthians 7
6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

The Early Christians have read the Old Testament and found out not only it is outdated, its also malicious, wicked and insincere. In Exodus, it talks of a sheep killed for dinner and you shall let nothing remain of it. This leads to Gluttony because you eat as much as you can cause the left-overs are a waste. Now we have good chefs and nutritionists who have healthy and clean practices in preparing food. We also have refrigerators that you don't have to eat all you can.

Acts 10
9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: 10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 

12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

So its like a Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD) seal of approval. God says these food are good for you cause they are delicious and nutritious. Ask the doctors. Beef is protein which gives you long term energy because when you have protein and you exercise, it is converted to muscles to make you strong. Carbohydrates is short term energy. Scallops is one of my favorites, tastes like prawn but with texture. Beef fat is actually good for the brains. You cannot get this nutrition from fishes and vegetables alone. If the BFAD approves it, it is safe to eat.

Ecclesiastes 9
7 Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.

It is advisable that you drink wine in celebration. Not when you have a problem because it worsens things.

Matthew 4
1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

In other words, the bread is the foundation or the doctrines of Jesus. You shall not live by bread alone but rather eat all the edible foods as recommended by God or BFAD so your body will go into perfection. Like the Church allows for traditions to make it perfect.

The foundation is layers of strong rock. Only a man and a woman shall be joined in marriage. Quite fitting, this is set in stone. Same-sex marriage is forever disallowed in the doctrines of Jesus.

So one asks, can girls wear pants? Like there are capable women leaders, you can wear pants. If you are easily tempted in looking at people wearing pants, then something is wrong with you. Do not go outside or watch television or media where you can see people wearing pants. Do not place undue importance on the physical. The Doctrines of Jesus is after the spiritual. But the devil is after the spirit as well. So dress modestly. With that, I think women look good in slacks and jeans. Why some people think its immodest for women to wear pants? With this reasoning, why is it not immodest for men to wear pants?

1 Timothy 2
8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

The hands are symbolic of the King and Queen sitting at the thrones. Or Husband and Wife. Of Man and Woman. You need both hands.

Verse 8 says that Men should be confident at all times with their apparel, without arrogance and indecision. While Women should be modest at all times, with honor (shamefacedness) and discipline (sobriety).

Since it says there in Verse 9 In like manner, thus, Men and Women should be confident and modest with their apparels. We are disabled if we use only one hand.
